Although I grew up only 4 minutes drive from the museum, I'm embarrassed that this was my first ever visit. My 14 year old daughter and I enjoyed it so much and the staff were so friendly. The cars are so well laid out. As a mini owner, we really enjoyed the talk about minis by volunteer Jon. Highly recommended for a day out and able to visit as many times as you like in a year.

An absolute gem of a place! A great way to spend the day learning about motoring history! The staff were amazing! I was very well looked after by the ladies following a minor medical emergency. Can’t thank you all enough. All in all, a fantastic day out at this wonderful museum!

Absolutely must stop place to visit. Packed with cars and other exhibits. Every turn you see something that blows you away if you are a car lover. I never thought I would get close to a Ferrari 250 GTO. Exotic cars alongside every day cars but all superbly displayed. Special mention to the lights as they make every photo a brilliant shot.

A modern museum with lots of great cars to view. Ancient and modern. A small motorcycle exhibit. Plenty of parking and a nice cafe. Tickets last a year so you can visit multiple times should you wish. Very friendly and knowledgeable volunteer staff.

Brilliant visit. Superb layout with magnificent exhibitions. Vehicles set in well ordered displays. Photos of cars I have owned in the past. Looked like the day I bought them.

I really enjoyed my visit , it was lovely seeing so many cars that I remember when they were new , and so many super cars . All of which are very well displayed. The shop and Cafe are excellent as well .

Amazing!! Took my dad here for his birthday and we really enjoyed it. Many different cars to look at. Staff were so friendly aswell. Would 100% recommend

Sherborne Abbey is truly stunning—its architecture is remarkable and the atmosphere incredibly peaceful. Although I am Buddhist, I felt a deep sense of calm and serenity while sitting inside. I spent quite some time there meditating, and it was a beautiful experience. Staffs were very friendly and welcoming. Well worth a visit.

What a splendid site and wonderful interior with some of England’s earliest fan vaulting. The town is obviously very prosperous, which also means good coffee and food. We visited during a Sunday service, and were able to sit in the side and enjoy the choir and organ.

Beautiful Abbey, first time visiting. Lovely chap and his dog at the gift shop. Lit a candle for those we’d lost. Well worth a visit. Remember to make a donation

Such an impressive cathedral. The ceiling and stained glass windows were truly amazing and the volunteers and staff were dedicated to keeping it looking wonderful.

Stunning Church with so much history. The Abbey is free to to enter which is fairly unusual these days. when visiting for a look round you do need to check if there is a service on. There are no toilets on site, but the Abbey tea rooms just next door does have toilets and there are very good toilets in Digby Road opposite.

Worth a visit. lots of local history to read with in , Beautiful staindglass to see .Also a nice remberance area & book of names open to view.

Magnificent Benedictine abbey built of beautiful golden stone, with a truly stunning interior. The incredible ceilings, towering arches and wall paintings come together to make for a dramatic spectacle inside, further enhanced by the beautiful stained glass windows. The abbey has had a storied history, which is detailed on a small leaflet available inside, and you can walk around at leisure to take in the all the details. The abbey is free to visit, donations are welcomed and there's a small gift shop inside. Sherborne itself is a very attractive market town with a pleasant park near the railway station, and some very picturesque streets; well worth a look around while you're visiting.

A fantastic experience! Really enjoyed exploring the history of the Roman baths and how interactive the museum is. It really immerses you in another world and the main thermal bath pool is gorgeous to just sit down at for a moment in between learning about the history. A free audio guide is also included in the ticket, which was very welcome. Staff are kind and the gift shop has some lovely items, too. 5/5 would recommend when visiting Bath.

The must visit attraction if you ever find yourself in Bath! I will start with the fact that entry was 36 USD for one person, however, this is one of the few times I will say you are getting a lot for your money and keep in mind the amount of protection / preservation that the money goes to. Your ticket comes with an audio tour (which I skipped because I find them unbearable), there are many signs with explanations on what you're seeing, access to both floors of the main bath house, the interior has plenty of additional museum and underground excavated activities. It really does feel like a mini Pompei in the middle of England. The views are lovely, it wasn't as crowded as I expected in early November too which was a plus for taking my time to enjoy everything!

If you're visiting Bath, you have to go, its the Law! OK, it clearly isn't but you're going aren't you, because if you haven't before you need too. It's great, not expensive and spent 3.5 hours there, which probably says it all really. You won't be disappointed although I didn't think much of the shop but that's a minor detail right?

The spa is amazingly set out. The free audio phones are really good to listen to information. I loved that the visuals were added so that you were looking at rocks but could see how they would have looked in the day. Plus on the wall videos showing life there. Quite a bit of nudity be warned! The Romans weren't shy! A lovely experience. However, it is a little pricey. I wouldn't repeat it as the cost is a little high. I suppose it pays for maintenance.

Very nice, it is always very interesting to go and see sights like these. I was very surprised to see that the water was not very clean. I can only hope that when the Romans were there that it was much better, but it was very interesting to see the intricate bath house with all of the amenities that they had built

A must visit if you are ever in Bath, even despite the high price of admission. It is definitely worth it specially if you use the audio guide. I highly recommend buying a ticket in advance as the lines for buying a ticket on the day are pretty long.

Visited the Roman Baths on my latest day trip to Bath and it’s definitely a must-see! Initially was a bit skeptical of the high ticket price but once I was inside, I actually thought it was really good value because there’s just so much to see and one could easily spend a couple of hours inside! It’s also great that there are so many indoor elements for when the weather is not great. The staff working there were also lovely and really enjoyed all the interactive elements like the holograms. Don’t miss this on your next visit to Bath!

I enjoyed a wonderful noonday service and a lovely tower tour, which is definitely worth doing. The tower tour allows you to see interesting details inside (clock, bells) and offers a great view out over the town and countryside. Shout out to our guide, whose name I cannot recall, but she had only been on the job for a week and was already a pro. The nave and the chapels are beautiful with an especially interesting ceiling. The volunteers or staff managing the line at the entrance could use a primer on welcome and hospitality. Everyone else was a pleasure.

I had a great Tower tour experience with the Irish and English guides! It was so fun ringing the bells and learning about the normally hidden parts of this historic building. Thank you!

We attended the Bath Abbey Tower Tour and had a wonderful time! Lots of steps, you go right to the top of the Abbey (which is quite high from the ground). Incredible views of the city and such an informative tour with Toby & Jamen. Thanks again!

Loved visiting the Abbey to see the Peace Doves Art Installation. Highly recommend. We were in awe ..... the architecture and stained glass windows are incredible. A warm welcome from the lovely staff and volunteers made our visit perfect.

Lovely few hours around Bath Abbey. Pay for entry (worth it) but got a free 1hr tour which was very informative. Also paid for the tower tour, which again takes an hour. You climb 240 odd steps to bell tower, clock tower and onto the top of roof. Tour done by El and Amy (I think) who were friendly helpful and informative. The climb is a bit of a challenge and a squeeze at times but worth it. I didn't do the discovery centre and museum that are also included in the Abbey entry price.

Taking the tour is a MUST!! So informational and love that each group is small enough where it feels more intimate. Like a private tour. Fun for the entire family. Exploring the beautiful abbey and being able to climb to the very top and on the inside where history is hidden. Listening to the bells rings and the tour guides were so wonderful making it fun for everyone. Highly recommend this experience when visiting Bath. Be sure to wear suitable shoes for climbing steep stairs if you take a tour.

Wel worth the admission fee as a guided tour is included for those who wish to take part. This is highly recommended. Fascinating building and history. Gift shop.

Peak pastries in an old building that was started by a French lady? We ordered scones with clotted cream and jam, a lemon tart and traditional tea with the cubes and milk. Tea was kinda watery but hey we got the experience. Scones were good and Huge, tasted so good with the cold clotted cream and tangy jam. Tart in sweet bread was okay, too much bread for our liking and too tart. We also ordered potato and leek soup which was perfectly chunky and leaky— I loved it with the bread yum

Fascinating history with using the original recipe dating back to the 1600s, and absolutely delicious bun! Very large, with a perfect crispiness on the outside, and incredibly soft & fluffy on the inside. Excellent with the cinnamon butter topping, though I found it a tad too sweet. The service isn't the friendliest, however it's still definitely worth stopping by for a unique taste of history, and a warm, freshly made treat :)

The building is quaint, just sitting in there is a lovely experience. Good chance you have wait to get in as it is pretty busy. The soup was very nice, the buns were also rich and tasty, we had 3 different types and all very happy with it. Meal deals are worth considering. Their tea is excellent, worth buying the leaf tea in the shop in the basement. Bathroom was sliglhly neglected in the rush hour, but otherwise a memorable hour we had there.

There were queues up the street, so we were disheartened and wet. However, on the way back we saw it was quieter and went inside. It is a really lovely experience. You eat Bath Buns which are gorgeous, with a teapot and there is a little museum downstairs - not much but adds to the atmosphere. Slow service but they are busy! Well worth a visit.

I came here for supper as it did receive suggestions to try their Sally buns. The buns were great and soft, as it's very soft and fluffy bun with many layers but may not be worth for £7+. The dinner menu is not bad as it includes an app of soup or bun with straight lettuce with no dressing (if you like even more buns), the main is essentially like a chicken a la king(or the inside of a meat pie/stew) served on half of an Sally bun, and a glass of wine for £22. From my observations from other tables they usually only eat half of the bun and all of the stew. Overall I personally wouldn't suggest dinner. Service was ok, but may not be the most observative due to experience. The afternoon tea may be a better option

The buns were amazing, the salmon was so fresh! however, the place needs improvements. We had a table upstairs and the floors were crooked not to mention the slow service.

Food is a tad pricey but understandable as it's a tourist go-to spot. There was a bit of a queue when we got there and I can say the food was worth the wait. A bit cramped though but comfortable. It's a resto that I'm glad i've tried, but just once.

A stunning historical bridge with great views of the river Avon. We enjoyed a lovely boat trip down the river with a very informative skipper and a lovely,helpful young man who served hot drinks and snacks on board. It's so refreshing to see a young person working hard rather than sitting in front of a screen all day. We even spotted a heron on the trip. On the other side of the bridge, it's rather odd and ugly looking but unusual and worth a look.

Absolutely stunning! We had a wonderful meal at a restaurant along Pulteney Bridge, which was such a charming spot with plenty of great eateries to choose from. The whole city felt so clean, welcoming, and full of character. The Georgian architecture is breathtaking, the streets are steeped in history, and everywhere you turn there’s something beautiful to see. From the iconic Roman Baths to the sweeping views around the city, Bath truly captured my heart. I completely fell in love with this city and can’t wait to come back and explore even more!

Pulteney Bridge is stunning. Designed in the Palladial architectural stye, a 17-18th century take on classical architecture from ancient Greek and Roman traditions, it is one of only four bridges in the world tonhave shops across it's full span on both sides! I did not visit any of these shops so cannot speak on their quality. I can, however, advise a trip to Pulteney or a nearby bridge with a view of Pulteney at either sunrise or sunset. I did this myself, cycling across a parallel bridge before sunrise to capture a unique view of this wonderful bridge. There it stood ready for another day of supporting vehicles and pedestrians alike in making their journeys between Central Bath and the suburb of Bathwick. Infrastructure is crucial to supporting us in living our lives. When it comes in a form as aesthetically pleasing as Pulteney bridge, it is impossible not to love.

Beautiful historic bridge with lovely views of the river and weir. Great spot for photos and a peaceful walk and a must-see in Bath! Beautiful city full of history and charm. Stunning architecture, relaxing Roman Baths, and lovely riverside walks. Bath is always a joy to explore!

A wonderful roman style bridge startling the river below! No cost associated with visiting and looks wonderful on both sides! Personally I suggest visiting the rear side as it's much quieter, are plenty of nice spots to take photos, and feels totally different from the chaos of the front!

Gorgeous bridge with a nearby sluice gate and weir, this Iconic structure was built to extend the City without people realizing they are crossing the river, lined by shops and a cafe with river views it certainly is different but so brilliantly built. Just a three min walk from the Abbey and behind the Impressive Guildhall.

Wonderful piece of history. Recommend taking the boat cruise nearby (£14 for an hour pp) to see the bridge from the river.

Fantastic museum of old and new paintings well curated in beautiful historic architecture! I enjoyed the ballroom the most; I was also pleasantly surprised to see Rachmaninoff's piano on the too floors and a more modern exhibit curated by Jonathan Anderson. There are some lovely portraits here too, and curious art objects.

A beautiful space, with lovely views into the streets and pleasure gardens around the gallery building. Contains a mix of permanent collections, curated by the original resident, and new temporary exhibitions. There's also a very nice cafe, with an outside terrace that leads to the gardens, which were the most enjoyable part for me. Mature trees in full autumn colour, integrated Victorian civil engineering history, in the form of the railway line and canal that both pass underneath, and views of the surrounding area of Bath. Sadly, I found the museum entry fee, and the price of everything on sale inside, very expensive, and the art collection, though impressive, simply wasn't to my taste, so I wouldn't return. I'd skip the inflated prices and have a picnic in the pleasure gardens instead.

Really enjoyed our visit to this museum. It sis well maintained, free and have clean facilities. Staff are very friendly and helpful. Amazing place to enjoy with the family.

A small, well-organized collection with interesting insights into Bath’s history. I most enjoyed the two special exhibitions on display when I visited. My timing wasn’t right to enjoy the cafe, but it is a beautiful spot with lots of glass set amid green space.

I was really surprised at how lovely this museum is. I had expected less and it was a gem. The setting and the park are beautiful. The view down the main street opposite with surroundings is also lovely. The museum is elegant, well set up and there are some really nice pieces. The Gallery downstairs is mind blowing. 15th century and less! There are some Janee Austen paintings and even a copy of Sense and Sensibility! This really is worth a visit.

Excellent temp exhibition of works by Winifred Nicholson and Andrew Cranston. Plus all the usual glories of the Holburne collection - beautifully displayed. Arrived in time for a delicious lunch in the beautiful garden cafe.

A real pleasure to wander round this treasure trove of a museum. Parking may be tricky but if you are on a tour of the city the museum s located within easy walking distance of the usual attractions of Bath and right beside a canal. A friendly welcome and teashop for a break. No matter what your preference there is something to be found for every taste.

We had a fabulous day out at Stourhead. The views and walks were amazing. The house was also so interesting! Unfortunately I can't rate it a 5 star this time as the lake had blue-green algae (lots of good warning signage though) and the flower beds and gardens were looking very dry and a bit unkempt. We will definitely visit again in Spring!

Lovely walk around a lake. Easy access and nice views. Busier than expected at October half term. Good setting off point for other walks outside the grounds of Stourhead house. Large car park, pub (check opening times), farm shop.

One of the most beautiful places ive visited recently, the architecture and the scenery is just amazing, absolutely perfect for a family to visit or walk the dog . Stourhead estate on the Wiltshire-Somerset border is the perfect day out for everyone. A breathtaking 18th century landscape garden with lakeside walks, grottoes and classical temples is only the beginning. You can also visit Stourhead House, a Palladian mansion with a fantastic regency library and beautiful art collection. Then why not climb the 205 steps to the top of King Alfred's Tower, an amazing red-brick folly, for vistas over Dorset, Somerset and Wiltshire, or explore one of our Iron Age hill forts.

We went on a weekend in October and there were queues to get in, but once on the grounds it didn't feel too busy at all. The autumnal colours made made the scenery all that more stunning. If you don't want to grab a sit down meal before or after your walk, I'd recommend packing a picnic

Excellent place for a day out, lots of things to see! Definitely one of my favourite National Trust places so far, highly recommend it! ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

We had a lovely day at stourhead visiting with my parents. The National trust House and gardens was really well set up. Probably the best National trust House and gardens for children to visit - obviously have to be careful of them around the lakes but lots of interesting things for them to do and see including in the house. The house itself you could only see downstairs which was slightly disappointing but the bits that you could see were really impressive - that included interesting architecture plus an extensive set of paintings, the furniture and the library outstanding from my perspective. The volunteers were really enthusiastic and explained about the different rooms and previous owners of the building. The house gardens and lakes are of course also very photogenic. The walk around the lakes takes about an hour we stopped on occasion because it was very hot to look inside the different grottos and buildings around the lake. Most of the refreshments and facilities are up near the house so it's worth getting ready for the walk. There are some steep cobbled sections which can be slippery in wet weather. We found a photographic exhibition was very interesting actually displayed in the gardens of the house.

Second time visiting, but in the rain which was different altogether, in a good way. Lots of features to look at when walking the vast grounds and the house is interesting, full of beautiful books and furniture as well as paintings with hidden features. Definitely worth a visit.

Beautiful gardens. Especially in autumn with all the autumnal colours. I would think it is stunning through all of the seasons. Very well maintained with lots of interesting information about trees dotted about. I learnt a few things. There is a 2000 year old lime tree that doesn’t look that old. I found that fascinating. Very good for children. You walk along a lovely wooden bridge amongst the tops of the trees. It’s a bit cheaper to go in the week than at the weekend. You can buy a membership that is well worth it if you intend to go a few times. It was busy so it seems it is very popular there. Lots of parking. You can’t do it all in one visit so we will definitely be going again. They also do concerts there.

Always a great place to visit anytime of year but it is special in the autumn. Walk further away and you soon lose the people. Take time to read about the specimen trees. Lovely quality shop and cafe. Wonderful to visit trees that were living long before you were born and hopefully still there for great grandchildren. Puts life in prospective

We visited in late October—and wow, it was absolutely breathtaking. You honestly can’t imagine how beautiful a forest can be until you see this place. The colors, the atmosphere, everything felt straight out of a painting. Totally worth the trip.

It gets very busy when the weather's good, but the autumn leaves were very beautiful. The bridge was really good too, and there were plenty of vans selling different types of food and drink. It's worth getting a map, and you can pre-book online

Such a beautiful annual tradition my family and friends have of going to see the beautiful colours of autumn at Westonbirt. It never disappoints, and the further you go in, the less busy it becomes! Most of the area is accessible to wheelchair users, which is good!

The trees at the arboretum were amazing but a part from the trees there is no much more to see. I do appreciate that arboretums are for trees mainly but other parks I have visited before offer more interesting features such as sculptures, ponds, pagodas and other types of focal point that make the experience more memorable and unique. The map provided was not easy to read, so finding your way around was challenging .The entrance price was very steep at £21, so no much value for money.

Perfect day out in a beautiful environment. We have 2 dogs and there’s areas to let the dogs off, walk them on the lead as well as areas dogs aren’t allowed. There are literally miles of pathways to walk along. An autumn visit means you get to see all the beautiful colours- there’s a fabulous walkway through the trees that gives stunning views over the parkland - which has a lot of interesting facts for both adults and children. The food deserves a special mention - there’s a separate bbq station as well as the main restaurant with a great choice if you are gluten free or vegetarian.

We have visited the festival of light for a few years and this year’s has been our best experience yet! The lights were very well thought out and we thought that the theme was fantastic! The animals on the drive round safari were also more active than usual which was brilliant too.

Brilliant day out! So much to do and see here. Especially if you visit when the lanterns are out. The animals were all well looked after and settled in their enclosures. We went through the safari twice as the animals were just incredible! Would love to visit again soon!

Festival of lights is incredible! We had a lovely day at the drive through safari and a wonderful evening taking in the wonderful lights. This is the 4th time I have been to a festival of lights and this was by far the best one!

Great family day out with the choice to opt out of the safari should you wish. Plenty for children to do to keep them occupied and the Bat Cave is a great experience too.. The Festival of Light is becoming an annual visit for us and we love the different themes each year. This year's Wallace and Gromit and Chicken Run went down a storm with the children..🥰

We were at longleat for the festival of lights and enjoyed a full day exploring the park including the jungle cruise and safari bus. There was plenty to see and do one of the favourites was the bat cave and on both trips the staff were very helpful and informative. In the evening we enjoyed an amazing light festival and Christmas stalls.

Wow!!!! What an amazing day. Can't wait to do it again some time. The whole day had the wow factor. The safari was amazing, the light festival exceeded our expectations. We were able to take our own food, we could navigate the day at our own pace. So much to see, good variety of animals to see and up close too. Not too over crowded, loved the big tent for children to do activities in, sit down and relax on bean bags without having to pay additional charges, good value for money and will definitely recommend. A wonderful treat for the family.

Such wow factor. Everything was great. A bit busy and wet onThe Saturday but Friday was lovely and relaxed. We saw soooo many animals up close and the Farmhouse is stunning. We will be back!

From the moment we met the gate guard til the moment we left the staff treated us warmly and looked after us superbly. The tour started at the Hall by the Orchard Restaurant and from this point no photos allowed ( apart from the courtyard) The day was sunny and warm and we were given detailed facts about the eclectic mix of plants, pots and follies throughout the garden. The ethos of the king was comprehensively conveyed that the garden is entirely organic and sustainable. It was April 17th so all the daffodils had gone but azaleas, cowslips and fritillary were in abundance. The topiary is stunning, the sound of birds can be heard and water fountains dotted around add to the ambience. The stumpery was the most interesting for me that day as the azalea/ hydrangea walk was not in flower. I thought we would see more of the garden than we did but there was no wandering allowed as armed police are watching your every move. You are allowed to see the iconic thyme / yew hedge pathway that frames the house but not allowed down it. 75mins went by very quickly but it was enjoyable. I was looking forward to a pot of tea and a scone in the Orchard tea room but the price of this was £12.50. Although the tea is a reasonable £3.50 per pot I was shocked by the price of a slice of cake for £9 ! The waitress however was very attentive and we enjoyed a pot of tea only. As the ticket was £32 each for the tour we thought this was a tad overpriced. I have seen reviews from 2 years ago that cakes were individually priced at £3.95 and this would have rounded off the visit nicely. Please bring this back. The shop is smaller than expected but beautiful Highgrove produce was available to buy. All in all a good visit but I’d recommend coming in early August as the wild flower meadow may be in full bloom and this year maybe spectacular. If you are being dropped off as we were, note to the driver to drive all the way to the carpark although the signs indicate otherwise.

WOW, what a wonderful place to visit, beautiful gardens, fantastic tour and the staff have amazing knowledge about the different plants and how King Charles developed the gardens over the many years he's lived there. Must go back again, we were so lucky to visit on such a sunny hot day, would love to see it at a different time of the year.

Wow! What a wonderful afternoon being shown around the gardens. The grounds are absolutely awesome with so much thought gone into every aspect. So much to see and take in at every turn. Rounded off with a lovely slice of cake and pot of tea in the restaurant. All the employees clearly love working there from the chaps who greet you on the drive, and the very knowledgeable guide to the catering guys... all very enthusiastic about what they do. I will go back again for sure to see everything in a different season.

Beautiful, artistic and peaceful gardens. Magical!! We were able to visit King Charles III Private Residence and Gardens courtesy of Burberry. We were guests of Burberry, who made this tour and day visit happen. Thank you to Burberry and Highgrove Gardens. Thank you as well to His Majesty King Charles III for providing this opportunity to visit his private gardens at his residence. His creativity and passion he continues to create at Highgrove is inspiring and beautiful.

Need to book tickets for the guided garden tour well in advance. Tours are limited to 20 people at a time. Our guide was very interesting and the various small garden's are all very different. Our tour lasted 90 minutes then we had a lovely lunch in the restaurant. Strictly no photos in the garden which is understandable. Everything was just perfect.

Beautiful gardens and a privilege to share our King & Queen's private space briefly. Excellent tour guide.

Although not well sign-posted, be aware, extremely courteous and friendly staff, tour led by the lovely Michelle who was full of interesting anecdotes and information. Fabulous experience!

Went to the brewery experience today and it was fantastic. Emily hosted the experience and was a fantastic guide, incredibly knowledgeable and offered some wonderful insights into the world of beer making as well as Hall and Woodhouse. A highly recommended brewery experience

Great tour led by Emily. Knowledgable and helpful. Obviously passionate about the brand and business. Loads of beer to taste at the end of the tour. Would highly recommend. We didn’t stay but a great discount if you take the tour and stay for lunch . Did make a few cheeky purchases in the shop. With the online offering I’ll probably become a loyal customer.

Booked the Brewery Experience for £25 which was a brewery tour that came with beer tasting! Andy was amazing, he was very knowledgable of the drinks and the whole brewery process! Would recommend going on a Saturday as he's only available every Saturday! Ended up going home with some drinks we've tried during the tasting and everything was amazing! Definitely recommended if you're heading to Dorset!

What a hidden gem of a place, always liked Badger beers but had the chance to do a brewery tour for my 40th Birthday and had a great time. The tour guide Carl was brilliant, learnt all about the brewery and the history of the brewery and then entered the wonderful industrial area where all the magic happens, fascinating place and great beer samples after the tour. So would I recommend this place for a good day out? Absolutely, O, and the restaurant is brilliant too serving great food and fresh beer. The only thing that was lacking was the shop, for such a unique brewery the shop seemed a little bare and lack of choice, no beer towels for instance but still not the end of the world and a great day out, highly recommended.

Fantastic time! Went for the brewery tour and stayed for food and a drink. Emily, our tour guide, was incredible. A walking encyclopedia of all things beer. Can't recommend this tour enough.

What a gorgeous place. The restaurant is wonderful, with well presented, delicious food. There is also a lovely little shop selling H&W products at reasonable prices. The staff are all really friendly. Overall it is well worth visiting. ..and next time I might take the brewery tour! Three years on and I was back again....Still a wonderful place, with the loveliest of staff.

I went on a Brewery Tour here and really enjoyed it. It was very comprehensive and took well over two hours . Apart from looking around the whole brewery and the brewing process, it also involved a trip onto the top of one building allowing some lovely views across Blandford Forum and also the Old Brewery Building. Seeing the bottling plant in action was also good especially as it is the bottled variant of this beer that first brought this brewery to my attention. Parking was quite tight mainly as the venue is let out for conferences and courses. The tour ended with a complimentary drink at the end.

Incredible remains of major Norman Abbey now repurposed as the town parish church. The grand Norman entrance archway showing scenes of the bible is not to be missed. Inside is a small exhibition around the tomb of King Athelstan of Wessex.

The tomb of Athelstan is interesting. There is a cafe inside and a gift shop. The Window of Courage is a nice piece of art. Overall a nice place to visit in the area.

Malmesbury Abbey is a welcoming place with the memorial tomb of King Athelstan the first King of the United Kingdom. The interior of the abbey is simple with a splendid vaulted ceiling. The ancient connection is blended to modern thoughts of life in a fascinating kinetic sculpture "Wonder", by artist Tom Lawton. This is a peaceful piece which symbolises how everything is interconnected

Malmesbury a very pretty town with an important abbey. This abbey holds the remains of King Athelstan the first king of a unified England that his grand father King Alfred the Great painfully strived towards. His grave is long lost but a memorial remains inside. A very welcoming space towards the rear is run as a cafe allowing dogs in too. Really enjoyed this visit, along with the rich history I felt within. My next visit is to St Oswalds Priory in Gloucester where his aunt Ethelfled was laid to rest.

Sometimes quiet and sometimes busy. You never know who's in there or what's happening. But when stuff happens it's great. You might hear abba like I did.

Malmesbury Abbey, boasts a rich history dating back to the 7th century. It was established as a monastery, possibly by the Irish monk Maeldulph, and later significantly shaped by St. Aldhelm. The abbey became a prominent Benedictine monastery, known for its learning and royal connections, including the burial of King Athelstan.( The first king of England) The present abbey church was largely built in the 12th century, though its history includes periods of expansion, structural issues, and ultimately, its dissolution during the Reformation. On the Left hand side as you go in you can see all the cannon ball marks in the wall, then you see them everywhere, when you know what you're looking for.

Amazing place wish I had been before steeped in history from iron age fort to modern times kings of England etc

Well worth a visit with your English Heritage membership. Quite a lot of the castle remains despite it getting blown up during the Civil War... Can spend a good couple of hours exploring the building and grounds. It's not really all that important site, but there is an interesting audio tour worth doing that explains about a lot of the history of the building and those who owned it. As ever, the staff in the little shop / café were extremely nice and very friendly.

Most interactive castle that I’ve ever been to! It was really fun to look around all of the rooms and the stairs are still intact in most of the castle so exploring the rooms and where all of the people used to be was wonderful. The views from the top of the castle were fantastic and would definitely recommend. Staff in the office were really lovely and friendly too. The drive up is a little fun…think one way road but it’s actually two ways. Great English Heritage site and really enjoyed our time here! Was really quiet too.

We had a great time exploring the castle and grounds, not sure why we hadn't been before! Well worth a visit but would suggest bringing a picnic there is no cafe and the little shop there had sold out of all cold drinks after the bank Holiday!

A Magical and Romantic Historical Gem! Old Wardour Castle is an absolute treasure! From the moment you arrive, the breathtaking setting—nestled among rolling hills, lush forests, and a serene lake—feels like stepping into a fairy tale . The ruins are beautifully preserved, offering a fascinating glimpse into medieval history while still evoking the grandeur of its past . What makes this place truly special is its romantic atmosphere. Whether you're exploring the spiral staircases, admiring the panoramic views from the towers, or discovering hidden nooks like the charming grotto, every corner feels enchanting . The 18th-century banqueting pavilion by the lake adds an extra touch of elegance, making it a dreamy spot for weddings and photography . The site is perfect for a peaceful day out—bring a picnic, wander the grounds, and soak in the history. The staff are friendly, and the information boards provide just the right amount of detail without overwhelming visitors. Plus, the drive up to the castle is an experience in itself, with stunning scenery at every turn . If you love history, architecture, or simply beautiful landscapes, Old Wardour Castle is a must-visit. Even in ruins, it’s one of the most picturesque and atmospheric places I’ve ever been. Highly recommend!

Although a little hard to drive to down those narrow single country lanes, it is a lovely place! The audio guide is great to get an overview of the history. But even without it is a stunning location.

Visited today it was a little further a field than what I expected and lots of bendy narrow roads to get to. I enjoyed the audio tape that came with the ticket and the displays dotted around. There was even a trail and some fun activities for kids sort of like a “ would you rather…” tale. Enjoyed the grounds And the beautiful forest too. Liked that you could go all the way up to the 4th floor and see the amazing views. It is also dog friendly, dogs were in the castle with their owners! A lovely place for a picnic. You could even fish I think from one of the many jetties over the lake . I also noticed the #WessexRidgeway goes right past there. Definitely worth a visit. @thewobbleyOwl came with me.

​Old Wardour Castle is a ruined 14th-century castle located in the beautiful countryside of Wiltshire, England, near the village of Tisbury. Known for its unique hexagonal design and rich history, it is a popular site managed by English Heritage. The road to drive there is a bit narrow (one lane), tricky if incoming trafic, but once there is well worthy Superb place !!!

I had some time to kill and a dog to walk. Great location, lots to see, good information, generally friendly dog walkers, hikers and canal users. There's a lack of dog poo bins given the popularity of this space with dogs, I asked and was directed to one near the café. Lots of birds, nice views.

Stunning series of locks. We arrived just after the last boat had been allowed to come up, so we're fortunate enough to see it going through a lock. Also the proudest kingfisher I have ever seen 🤩

If you like canals then this is the perfect place for you. The flight of locks and narrow boats. The little cafe serves a variety of hot and cold food. Walking boots recommend up and down the lock path or into the forest. Parking £3 all day.

Beautiful walk or cycle within easy reach of Devizes (which is also nice for a wander). If boats are travelling along this stretch of canal it's great to see the technology in action enabling them to travel up/down hill. Great day out with a nice cafe at the top of the hill, enjoyed by the whole family, the kids even managed to get in on the action helping boaters through the locks.

Great place to visit and walk, I came here with family and it was just lovely way to spend an afternoon. The view is beautiful and the locks are very intriguing. There’s a nice cafe (with toilet- always useful) too for a welcome drink.

It is peaceful and beautiful great place to visit.

Spectacular! Popular with the narrow boats, despite really being hard work. A scenic spot to visit, and the cafe near the top serves a welcome cup of your favourite hot beverage. Perfect when the weather isn't great.

Great and informative tour with a nice tasting at the end. The price was reasonable and the tour was very educational and entertaining. We ordered pies to have at the end during the tasting and they were very nice. The samples were generous. A great time!

There's a great little shop here that does Wadworth branded and other local bits and bobs. Also a tasting bar. They do bottles and mini kegs to take away too. There's also a really good brewery tour - book ahead for that though.

Humm.. giving this place 4 stars because it wasn’t bad. Had a pint at the beer bar. I was there hoping to get a sticker but out of all the swag, no decals. Frown-town. Also, and kind of a bummer, they weren’t doing any tours that day. The only thing I could really buy and take home was a print. It was really neat but I couldn’t bring myself to spend 20 quid on it. All in all a little disappointing for me but it didn’t really cost a lot except a bit of time. Maybe you’ll have better luck. Cheers.

Really nice little bar and gift shop , doggies welcome - it's a shame we have only just found it as apparently it is being turned into housing soon 😐

What a brilliant experience, the lovely (Beki) pictured shared her knowledge and experties with us in a vibrant and fun manner, her knowledge was astounding and could answer pretty much any question. Her delivery abd humour made the tour entertaining. Cannot thank Wadworth and Beki for a thouroughly enjoyable afternoon.

Great tour... Compliments to the tour team, thank you Luci. Avoid Friday if you want to see brewing in process.

We enjoyed an exellent tour of the brewery today. It was a Christmas present from my daughter. Becky was our tour guide today, she was very knowledgeable explaining every aspect of the brewing process as we moved around. Our group of eighteen was invited to taste some dried hops in their various stages and any questions were easily answered by out host. It was great to see the sign painting section and of course we were all taken with the size of the magnificent Shire horses still being used to deliver beer locally. Then we came to the beer tasting. We were given a generous sample of each beer available. We tasted seven different beers in all, my own personal favourite being the "Old timer" we also enjoyed a very tasty hot pie in the cosy little bar at extra cost. I can highly recommend this tour of the brewery which took a little over two hours. At no time were we rushed to get around. There is also a shop selling lots of merchandise. An amazing experience, I'm tempted to go again.

Stunning location for a buggy friendly family day out! Highly recommend a visit! We accidentally landed here on Race for Life day so there was even more going on than usual but still with lots of quiet places to enjoy ☺️

Lydiard Park offers a charming escape, with expansive grounds that come alive in the summer months as families gather for picnics under the sun. A tranquil lake graces the landscape, though it’s more ornamental than inviting for swimming. The Lydiard House Museum, while splendid in its preserved elegance, had only a handful of rooms open during my visit, which made the experience feel somewhat limited. Similarly, the beautifully maintained walled garden, though delightful, may not fully justify its modest entrance fee. Practical amenities such as ample paid parking, clean toilets, and an on-site café make the visit convenient, and the presence of a historic church and a fenced paddock with ponies adds to the park’s pastoral charm. All in all, Lydiard Park is a lovely place to while away a few peaceful hours.

A lovely park! We visited and camped during the Hot Air Balloon festival. It was so interesting, enjoyable and well organised!

This is a wonderful park area to suit all kinds of needs, from children, to adults to small or big groups. It is also good for those with mobility probmms as it has wide flat paths. I liked that you can book a bbq on the large field, stroll to the lake, play on the fields or playground. Or even visit the museum. The parking is ample but I walked through a lovely forested memorial garden to get to the park and left by foot a different way. Well worth the visit. The cafe and ice cream were good. There’s also toilets… a bit old but clean and functioning. Dogs have to be kept on a leash, and cannot go into food premises. But they do sell dog treats. The ice cream shop was very reasonably priced, delicious and value for money. My dog had a good day! Also the @Artpass gets you into the museum for free!

It was 16 Aug 2023. Its special experience to stay overnight in the Park. Very relaxed. I stayed just one night. If I come next time, will stay two nights.

Lydiard Park in Swindon is such a beautiful escape! The parkland is so well-maintained with lovely walking trails and plenty of green space to relax. Perfect for families with kids or anyone wanting a peaceful day out. The lake area is particularly scenic and great for a quiet walk. Love how spacious everything feels here. Great place for picnics, dog walking, or just getting some fresh air.

Great play area and walking paths. Lake has a lovely view of the house and there's a great play area for all ages of kids. The high wire adventure looked popular, though I do think it's a little pricey. Nice cafe. Overall, a lovely place to spend time

What a different day out with kids. £49.9 gets a family of four a day ticket with a 1kg bag of fish food. You can feed the trout as well ducks, it's got a play park, a fish your own area as well as a BBQ area to grill your freshly fished trout. And a little mini golf area for the little ones while you are waiting for the fish to be cooked. There is an own designated parking area chargeable, and every fish you cash is chargeable too + the fishing experience. All in all it did cost us 4 adults and 3 kids the better part of £300 but totally worth it!

Where do I start? As a travel sick person I really enjoyed even the 2.5h travel from staff, tryouts, ducks, facilities, park, plants, to the breathtaking scenery was worth it. My family caught 8 fish which was fun but expensive. The staff went above & beyond. We (husband & daughter) cooked it so well that spectators realised they were chef. Fun, welcoming and definitely something for everyone.

Serene environment, stream of water so crystal clear with fishes having a nice time in it☺️ Should you get to park here, it’s gonna cost £8 for the whole day (pay & display) and it’s card only no cash. The whole environment just presents this mental calmness. I tried as much as possible to get here as early as possible to avoid it being crowded, but to my surprise, the whole place was packed with people as at 10am 😳 I couldn’t believe my eyes. At this point, I guess anyone that’ll wanna visit should just go when convenient.

A beautiful village that has stayed true to its history. So worth a visit if you’re in the area. Go early or later in the day as once the tour buses arrive parking is almost impossible. Lovely places to eat - bit pricey as they have a captive clientele- but I’m sure their food is delicious

Bibury Trout Farm is a charming and peaceful place to spend the day. The grounds are clean, well-maintained, and organized, making it easy to enjoy every moment. You can catch your own trout and have it expertly prepared on the barbecue—such a fun and delicious experience! Plus, there’s a lovely playground for kids, so the whole family can relax and play. A truly delightful outing!

The place is beautiful. In spite of the many people it was still peaceful. Lovely walks. I would love to stay there for a couple of days to imbibe the atmosphere. The reason for the missing 5 th star is the restaurant. We were very disappointed in the food.... Trout was overcooked and the roll of the chicken roll was stale. They also don't give a plate to put your fish bones...weird! "We don't do that". Really!! And the manager was very nonchalant

A lovely place, very nice and enjoyable experience. Kids loved it! A must visit if in Bibury! You can also try to catch and cook your own trout for a fee! Staff are all so helpful.

A lovely little cottage with gorgeous exterior design. I reckon it's the fact that they are all joined up which makes the houses so appealling. Do note that car park fee at the attraction is £10 per day. I parked in a village 2miles away so mine was free.

Have been to Arlington Row multiple times, and it never disappoints. It’s such a beautiful and peaceful place, with postcard-perfect scenery every time. We love walking around the area - the river nearby, the charming cottages, and the surrounding village make it feel like something out of a storybook. It’s the kind of place where you can just stroll and take in the views, then relax with a drink at one of the nearby pubs or restaurants. A truly picturesque spot we keep coming back to.

Arlington Row has become a rather popular tourist destination in the Cotswolds, resulting in difficulties finding parking and large groups of visitors. That said, it is a delightful area and well worth the visit, as William Morris once said it is ‘the most beautiful village in the country’. There is a short walk available past the houses that takes you to the oldest working trout farm in the country with a quaint gift shop and delightful restaurant. Early morning or late afternoon visits are recommended if you want to avoid the larger groups

Absolutely stunning village, we came on a Friday and it was very quiet with a few tourists about. Some of whom had the cheek to steal flowers from the gardens of home owners. Apparently this happens a lot, one home owner from the row told us. If your in the area would definitely recommend a visit

So Arlington Row is an absolutely wonderful site and I’m so glad we went. It’s really the one and only site in Bibury - and popular for good reason. We went first thing in the morning and beat the rest of the tourists - and for me, I wouldn’t do it any other way. There was ample street parking, a short walk across the bridge, and people free photos. Did our best to be quiet and unobtrusive - people do live here after all. But a lovely place to take in the beautiful of The Cotswolds.

We visited around 6 pm and, unfortunately, found it very crowded and chaotic. Cars were passing in front of the house from both directions while people were walking, which made it stressful. There was shouting, and no real chance to enjoy the scene peacefully or take a family photo without other visitors in the frame. Parking was also a challenge, there’s indeed a large car park about a 6-minute walk away, but it costs £8 , for us it’s less than an hour. I understand why this spot is considered iconic and why it can make for a beautiful photo, but based on our experience, we won’t be returning.

Arlington Row is a beautiful, peaceful spot with charming old cottages and a lovely stream. Great for a quiet walk and photos.

A magical place. So wonderful to just wander around the stones, the trees. Plenty of places to eat and drink. The 'Elements' shop is incredible.. Don't miss it. The museum is pretty small but worth visiting. Parking in Avebury is a problem... Only paid.. But if you want to do a bit of walking, you can park outside the village in a by lane and walk in as I did getting extra sites in like 'The Sanctuary ' and some barrows too. Totally worth visiting!!!

I always enjoy neolithic ruins/monuments and this is definitely one of the better ones I've been too. Plenty of formations and other things to see and walk to in the surrounding area as well. Definitely recommend.

Avebury is a magical place, defo worth the visit. The stone circle here feels more alive and peaceful unlike Stonehenge that can get very crowded as you can imagine, it's freely open to walk among the stones and feel the ancient energy of the place! The village, the museum, as well as the nice nearby trails making it a perfect day-trip for anyone interested in history, spirituality, or just a beautiful walk through the English countryside.

This was an amazing site to see and visit. The stone circles were spectacular. The fact that you can still go up to them and touch them, is a huge positive. The only thing lacking were benches, for older, handicapped or special needs people to sit on.

Beautiful area. Incredible countryside. The ancient stones are a really special place & I would advise anyone to visit.

As a member of English heritage we didn't have to pay parking but people were moaning about having to pay for a full day no other options and £8 to much. We went in the museum which explained a lot about the excavations and all the artifacts that were found in the ditches. The walk around the stones was getting muddy with all the rain but it was still a good day out.

Worth the visit. I thought better than going to Stonehenge, only have to play for parking, you can walk around the stones and village for free. Bigger layout than Stonehenge, but not quite as spectacular stones.

What a fantastic gem of a place. The horses all have their own characters and are so well looked after. The staff here are all so friendly and knowledgeable and more than happy to spend time talking to you. There’s so much to do here for both adults and kids. We had the best time here thank you so so much.

My last visit was back in 2015 with my then 8yr old daughter, so it was only fair that I took my now 9yr old son to the same Horse Farm. It was lovely to see that it had some new improvements, but it was lovely to see it still had lots of the same things when I last visited. The horses all looked well loved and cared for, and its great to offer activities and mini history sessions to teach the new generations of the importance of our horses and how they helped Shape the world we live in today. My son loved the same things as my daughter, feeding the horses, riding the pedal go-cart, petting the rabbits and reading and listening to the history of the horses. It was a shame we didn’t get to go on a horse and cart ride, but that was our fault as we didn’t arrive til 12:30pm and with it being the summer holidays. The staff were all friendly, the main man, who seemed to be here there and everywhere was great, I believe it was the same gentleman who let my daughter sit in the front of the horse and cart ride. The facilities were clean and reasonable. We didn’t eat here, but the cakes looked good. Easy to find and lots of parking spaces. Thoroughly enjoyed my visit again and will continue to recommend it to anyone who is holidaying in the area. I also got a lovely head hug from UNO 🥰

A really good, fun day out. We took our daughter for her 2nd birthday and we all loved it. The staff are incredibly friendly and welcoming and full of fascinating information and you can tell they have a genuine passion for the animals. It was great to step back in time and see the vintage machinery, the old farm ways and the world war Mockups. All related to horses through the years. What was really nice was the free rides and games dotted about and refreshing that there wasn't an extra fee for these. There is a western themed cafe with a really good choice of food and kids menu and the portions are really generous. I had the ploughman's and was not disappointed. We spent a full day here and will definitely come back to this hidden gem.

A Wonderful Day at Dorset Heavy Horse Centre From the moment we arrived, the warmth and friendliness of the staff made us feel completely at ease. Everyone was welcoming, helpful, and clearly passionate about what they do. A special mention goes to Richard, the owner, whose deep knowledge and enthusiasm for the heavy horses truly brought the experience to life. His informative talks added so much value and made the visit both educational and enjoyable. The entire day was a delight—peaceful, well-organised, and full of charm. Whether you're an animal lover, a history enthusiast, or just looking for a pleasant countryside escape, this place ticks all the boxes. Highly recommended for families, couples, or anyone wanting a unique and memorable outing.

Really excellent. My 3 year old loved it and was entertained for nearly 4 hours. The day was well rhought through choreographed with friendly, helpful and knowledgeable staff offering a variety of talks and activities. Although the horses are the star attraction, there's other animals and things to do in the old way tgat is becoming a lost art. Spoiler alert, you'll leave feeling a lot better than when you enter.

The Farm was well worth a visit. The heavy horses are beautiful and it was worth going just to see them. The talks were interesting and informative. The WW1 trench was unexpected but educational. There are a lot of play areas and animals for children to enjoy and it is certainly a place I would take grandchildren if I had them! We turned up on spec and had no problem getting in, however we were warned that the previous day coach parties filled the place up. So, I would book in advance in the future.

I’d definitely recommend this place for families with little children, children can feed animals & brush ponies’s hair, wagon ride, & tractor ride, & so much more activities. They also have a very sweet staff with so much information about different kinds of horses, breeding, & wagon history. if i were the owner i’d add pony rides for double fun. & thanks again everyone was so sweet 🙏🏻 Love from Kuwait 🇰🇼❤️

What started as a quick detour on our way back to London turned into the most relaxed shopping experience we've had in ages! Arriving two hours before closing on Friday was absolutely brilliant timing - no crowds, no stress, just peaceful browsing through a genuinely charming outlet. The £2.50 parking felt totally reasonable, and honestly, it was refreshing not getting gouged like at some places. The covered design is genius! While most UK outlets leave you battling whatever weather throws at you, this place keeps you cozy year-round. Perfect for our unpredictable seasons. We snagged some great sporting goods and fashion bargains - yes, "discount" designer prices are still pricey, but definitely better than full retail madness. The food court and coffee shops were perfect for a quick break, and everything felt clean and well-managed. Two hours flew by exploring this compact but well-curated space. It's refreshingly manageable - you can actually see everything without feeling overwhelmed. Our spontaneous stop turned into a thoroughly pleasant shopping adventure that left us both happy and satisfied!

Visited the Swindon Designer Outlet mainly for clothes and shoe shopping and was really pleased with the variety and the deals available. Lots of well-known brands and genuine discounts, so it’s easy to find something good without paying full price. The whole outlet has a nice, relaxed atmosphere, clean, bright, and well organised. It’s great that most of it is covered too, so the weather doesn’t spoil your day. There are several cafés and restaurants, and I appreciated that a few have halal options, which made eating there much easier and more enjoyable. They also got solat / prayer / multi-faith room near to Clarks, Slim Chickens, French Connection. It’s also very family-friendly, with play areas for children and plenty of space to walk around with buggies. You can easily make it a half-day trip with the family; shopping, eating, and letting the kids have some fun. Parking can get quite busy, especially on weekends, but overall it was a really good experience. I’d definitely recommend it for a relaxed shopping day with family or friends.

All I can say is this is the best Designer Outlet I have been too! Although M&S Outlet didn’t have any air con it was too hot in there. Besides that they have a very good brands at the Outlet. Worth a visit if you’re driving along the M4.

This place is a hidden shopping gem in Swindon. There are a host of Mid level brands available to shop at. There are also a lot of food outlet like Five Guys, Starbucks, Mexican etc. The toilets are clean and makes me feel ive got a bit of Dubai in Swindon.lol. It was a good place for me to kill time before my train. There is also a dedicated play area for children.

I really do like this mall. Although its not massive, it has a good variety of stores for shopping, and particularly boasts a great selections of places to eat and drink. I frequent this place regularly and can say that its always been impeccably clean and seemingly well-run. Kudos to the staff and management.

It's ok. Best part is that the management company were able to use a world class old building to develop as an outlet, complete with stream locomotive and historic plaques

Nice set of shops, not the largest outlets around though. Parking is plentiful and free for blue badge holders. Nice system of scanning the blue badge when returning to the car to get the free parking.

Plenty of parking, free to cadw, English heritage, and historic Scotland. Very Busy even at 10am. Free Busses taking visitors down every 5 to 10 mins. And bringing back. No going on the stones. Very impressive visitors centre. Toilets, shop, cafe. All wheelchair friendly. Great audio guide app. Friendly staff. Soooo many nationalities visiting. Heard soooooo many languages. Wonderful place to visit. Better when not so many people, but over a million people visit so not any quiet time.

Stonehenge is such a fascinating and historic site, the place is visible from the road itself and is also very good for capturing photos, especially during sunrise or sunset when the light hits the stones beautifully. The visitor centre is well-organised with clear information about the history and significance of the site. Definitely a must-see spot in the UK

Fascinating experience. This place is free to visit for English Heritage and National Trust member. There is shop, cafe, toilet and exhibition at the visitor centre. Shuttle bus is available every 5 to 10 minutes to take visitor from visitor centre to the stones. But if you choose to walk to the stones and enjoy it is convenient too. The staff are extremely helpful and friendly. Plenty of parking and it’s free if you are an English Heritage member or else you need to pay £3.

I didn’t go through the visitor center — instead I took a lovely, easy path through the fields. The walk was beautiful and peaceful, and it leads you right up close to Stonehenge without needing to pay. The site itself is amazing and well-kept. Totally worth it, especially if you prefer a quiet nature walk over the crowded official route.

Stonehenge is iconic for a reason—the sight of the massive stones rising from the landscape is truly impressive. The visitor centre has good information and a shuttle that takes you to the monument, making the experience smooth and well-organized. Parking is available on-site and easy to navigate, though it can get busy during peak hours. The walking trail around the stones is well laid out, offering great views from different angles. You can’t get too close, but the path still gives you plenty of opportunities for photos and quiet moments to take in the atmosphere. Overall, a memorable visit if you appreciate history, engineering, or a unique landscape.

Absolutely breathtaking! Visiting Stonehenge was such an unforgettable experience. The site is peaceful, fascinating, and has this incredible sense of history and mystery about it. Seeing it in person is completely different from photos, it really makes you stop and take it all in. The area is well maintained, the shuttle service is convenient, and the museum and exhibits add great context to what you’re seeing. We went as a family and everyone enjoyed it. Even the kids were amazed by how massive and perfectly arranged the stones are. Definitely worth the trip if can squeeze it in when visiting England! If I was local, would be cool to see during the winter and summer solstice.

Decent place to visit. 1. 30 pounds to visit is outrageous. Better to walk the trail (visitor car park to stonehedge- 30 min each way) and view for free. 2. After reaching the entrance a lad would ask if you have tickets, if you say no he will show you from where to enter the trail. 3. There's a long queue for the bus, to and fro, wait time is minimum 15 mins, walking could be quicker

The Platform One Cafe has been taken over by new owners and it is absolutely super, serving the most wonderful paninis I've ever tasted! They were reasonably priced, very generously filled and huge! The chips (not needed as paninis were so big) were very good, very well fried so they were crunchy and soft inside. You don't need to visit the actual museum to enter the café, which is a great bonus! Keep up the great food!

Great food well cooked and not a bad price at all. Coffee really good too

Ha drinks before visiting the museum and then food in-between all the exhibits to allow a bit of rest for the old brain - the cafe is small and not on the ground floor and the toilets are down stairs There is a menu and the jacket potatoes were nice

Good value food and portion size, really friendly staff

The food and service here is excellent. Above and beyond usual cafe standards. Jacket potato and fillings a highlight and coffee is really good

I visited the museum yesterday which was great. The food choices for lunch were poor and no hot food menus were on displayed so I just had a sandwich and a soft drink. I paid by card and was not offered a receipt. My bank statement shows a payment to Zettle yesterday with a location given as York ( not Swindon!). This cafe could be so much better with a little bit more attention.

I had the crispy chicken wrap , salad and fries, it was delicious!

We went to see the Swindon Youth Project production of Annie. Such a brilliant show!! However, the theatre was far too hot, no air conditioning and the doors were kept closed. It’s a great theatre and there isn’t a bad seat, it just needs some investment (or a completely new one if the council ever pull their finger out!!). The staff are friendly and the food and drink is extortionate!!

Small personal theatre, seats comfortable. Reasonable prices in bar. Plenty of parking, either a small car park out & multi storey just a few minutes away. Only issue was that it was so hot..take a small hand held fan.

The show was amazing (Annie) the theatre was far too hot. Everyone in the audience was struggling with the heat. Make sure you bring a fan. The staff were lovely.

A lovely compact and bijou theatre which has a wide & diverse range of entertainment. We saw The James Bond Concert Spectacular which was wonderful & actually narrated by an original Moneypenny, Caroline Bliss. The staff were lovely and very helpfully, which added to our wonderful evening.

Great venue, always clean and staff are friendly and helpful. Seats are fairly comfortable and most have adequate legroom. Good range of shows and plays throughout the year.

Went to see Tap Factory at Wyvern recently. Car Parking is not easy as very limited spaces close to the Theatre. Nice cafe/bar area selling good drink options. Food options pretty limited. We had a great view of the stage from our seats in the Stalls. Sound quality was very good. Staff were helpful and friendly.

Well a fantastic show, however the ventilation is appalling. Even the band performing complained how hot it was inside. Half time looking going outside on to the balcony, looked towards the court building, visitors are greeted with overflowing bins and homeless people's tents. Not very indearing for the reputation of Swindon. Considering it's closeness to the Civic offices and the amount of community tax we pay, can we not keep areas seen by visitors to our town clean and less seedy looking?

Worth a visit, especially if you have the English Heritage membership and have been to nearby Stonehenge. There isn't a lot left of the old castle, but it is in a nice, elevated position overlooking the "new" Salisbury Cathedral. We spent an hour or so looking around the ruins and admiring the lovely autumnal colours in the surrounding countryside. There is a small shop on site, it sells the usual memorabilia and EH stuff (always seems to be a new mead variation to buy). The staff members were friendly and helpful, we had a pleasant conversation. About 25 car parking places, the road up to it is quite steep and narrow, but there are passing points on every corner.

One of my favourite days out, this place had such beautiful views, great history and the people who worked here were very welcoming, up for a chat and overall friendly, also got some ice cream which i was quite happy they had a decent amount of vegan options. You can easily spend a good few hours here just walking around and reading everything, even just sat relaxing. Great place for dogs to come and run about, even children and it was fun watching the sky divers. i'd love to revisit here in the future. (For anyone wondering, you pay for the small middle part over the bridge, all the outer bits you can walk around for free)

Staff super friendly and helpful. Lovely to explore and learn. Only managed few photos as having fun with kiddies exploring. Little gift shop and picnic benches. Beautiful views and dogs welcome on leads.

Interesting place to visit. Cadw free entry. Has toilets and visitirs centre/shop does hot and cold drinks. Friendly staff. Car park free. Original cathedral foundations on the outer ward. Inside the inner castle is well described on info plaques. Stunning views of Salisbury.

Beautiful views of the surrounding area and the town of Salisbury. You can see the cathedral clearly from one of the walls. Lots of history related to kings of the past. Highly recommend if you’re a tourist buff and it doesn’t take too long to explore.

Incredible, eerie, lovely place to take an autumn walk. Literally layers upon layers of history. Hiking around the perimeter of the hillfort is a must for the beautiful views across Salisbury and the Wiltshire countryside.

Nice little wonder around was surprised that it was free with our Cadw membership If you are turning up you know what to expect but was definitely worth a vist. Another pile of stones listed hahaha

Fantastic quiet church ⛪️ lovely and so peaceful lovely and clean disabled accessible to small steps however there is an entrance parking tricky however Sainsbury's is the best place lots of parking free plus disabled bays

Popped in as we were walking around the town. Lovely church, so peaceful and welcoming. Plenty to see, so much history.

An old church with lots of history to see. Best to get a guided tour to discover what's there

St Thomas Church is located in centre of Salisbury. This church has long history. It was founded in the early 13th century and rebuilt in the 15th century by the city's prosperous merchants. Above the chancel arch is a large doom painting from the late 15th century or early 16th. Despite all the history, I love the interior which is very touchy. Make me feel I'm living in the history. You can even feel the smell of old wood in the atmosphere.

Beautiful church inside and out. Nice little cafe inside as well. Delightful location right in the heart of the city. No parking facilities so suggest parking outside the city and use the very good park and ride service.

While not at the scale of the nearby cathedral, St. Thomas's Church is still well worth the 10 minute walk from the former. It's a great space, with brilliant windows and - as with many churches - has a lot of historical details. Plus, it has the definite advantage of being less visited by Russian assassins than the cathedral!

Great little church, excellent guides who will tell you all about the Doom Scroll. Would recommend a visit
